Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to congratulate the Government Leader on a Minister's statement that is absolutely clear. It is full of wonderful short phrases that everyone could understand: If we cannot pay for it we better not buy it; we are in a difficult position, but we do not need to stay there; this is the local way of getting things done; it is fine to get things done; that is what the public wants and that is what the public deserves; that is what the government is committed to -- the delivery; now is the time for action; and so on.

I would like to remind the House that this is a consensus government. Although this has a platform that this government seems committed to deliver -- but in the spirit of consensus government it is my wholehearted belief that this will only succeed if, in fact, it gets the good will of all Members on this side of the House. For that reason, I hope these short, very easy-to-understand phrases do not mean that the Government Leader is committed to ramming through a program without proper debate, discussion, consideration and the proper input of ordinary Members on this side. It is a good start to have a Minister's statement that is clear and uses good English so that everybody has no doubt about what it means. Thank you.
